I forgot to mention Space Siege, what were they thinking. They took the best element from the previous games, the tons of loot, and completely removed it. Same situation as Supreme Commander, though not as drastic.

In regards to regenerating health, I liked the way the new Alien vs. Predator handled it. With the marine or the predator you had sections of regeneration, so take enough hits and that section was gone and you would need a health pack to get it back. Find cover in time and that section would recover eventually, a good mix if you ask me.

I hope he is successful, it's clear he is passionate about games, and obviously since he has a lot invested in it, he will do whatever he can to make the best game possible with what's available to him. Hopefully EA doesn't push him around too much, and just lets him do his thing.
